Not sure if it's just noise but Joshua is suggesting there's a chance he could fight Wilder on the 'undercard' (my word, not his) of Fury vs Usyk.

I know it would be silly and wouldn't happen for many reasons but imagine they then said OK the two winners can then fight it out in the 'final'. Wilder sparks Joshua early doors so is fully rested for whomever wins on points from as 12 round attritional war between Fury and Usyk.

I would bet strongly against that, both are a massive packed out shows so why have only one show. That is many tens of thousands of tickets not sold and huge money in pay per views lost from having only one event.

That is the way i see it anyway, i know they could do it but does not make business sense to me.

I agree it seems a bit fanciful / suboptimal from a commercial perspective. See the way I could see it going is they put the fights on Friday night Saturday night or something like that, so they get double ticket sales / PPV and people are making a weekend of it. But even then, they'd have a problem with the hype machine, the whole idea will be a big build up to both fights with controversial weigh-ins / press conferences etc, they won't want them tripping over each other and stealing the limelight. Although I guess that happens occaisonally when they put two big fights on the same night in different venues anyway.

Catterall vs Linares.
I'm yet to be convinced by Catterall. The Taylor fight was horrible and every fight I've seen him in since has been scrappy. Linares should be well past it but so far he's looked competitive.

Another dull affair. No danger of JC losing but he's a boring fighter to watch for me

He definitely has a distinct style doesn't he?

i mainly want to see the fabio vs david British HW fight

the Fury fight is another money making only fight although i can see that one getting ugly. The MMA guy will look to rough him up and make it a brawl rather than a boxing match
